Lesson-2 - Data Processing

1. Data processing involves manipulating data into a more useful form through various manual, mechanical, and electronic systems and procedures. It includes inputting, processing, and outputting data. 2. There are different types of data processing operations like recording, verifying, duplicating, classifying, sorting, calculating, summarizing, merging, storing, retrieving, and providing feedback. 3. Common methods of data processing include batch processing, online processing, real-time processing, and distributed processing.

APPLICATION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Lesson 2: Data Processing Concept

Data Processing are the ways to simplify work and to solve


problems more efficiently. It is the manipulation of data into a
more useful form. It also refers to the equipment or devices and
procedures by which the result is achieved.
Data processing system refers to the equipment or devices
and procedures by which the result is achieved.
Data is defined as any collection of facts.
Types of Data
1. Numerical
2. Non-numerical
Data Processing Cycle

1. Input – initial data are prepared in some convenient form for


processing

2. Processing – the input data are changed, combined with other


information, to produce data in a more useful form.

3. Output – the results of the preceding processing steps are


collected.
Categories of Data Processing

1. Manual data processing – these systems employs tools and


materials such as pencils, pens, multiple-copy forms, carbon paper
and filing cabinets.
2. Mechanical data processing - these systems use a combination
of manual procedures and mechanical equipment. The system
uses various devices such as typewriters, sorters, calculators,
collators, tabulators, duplicators, and verifiers.
3. Electronic data processing – these system use different types of
input, output, and storage devices may be interconnected to an
electronic computer to process data.
Areas of Data Processing

1. Business Data Processing - characterized by the need to


establish, retain, and process files of data for producing useful
information. Generally, it involves a large volume of input data,
limited arithmetical operations, and a relatively large volume of
output.

2. Scientific Data Processing - involves a limited volume of input


and many logical or arithmetical calculations.
Data Processing Operations

1. Recording transfer of data onto some form or document. It


relates to the documentation of intermediate figures and facts
resulting from calculations.
2. Verifying checked for any errors
3. Duplicating reproducing the data onto many forms or
documents
4. Classifying identifying and arranging items with like
characteristics into groups or classes
5. Sorting arranging data in a specific order
6. Calculating arithmetic manipulation of the data
7. Summarizing and reporting a collection of data is condensed
and certain conclusions from the data are represented in a format.
Reducing masses of data to a more useful form.
8. Merging two or more sets of data, all sets having been sorted
by same, and puts them together to form a single sorted set of
data
9. Storing placing similar data into files for future references
10. Retrieving recovering stored data and/or information when
needed
11. Feedback comparison of the output(s) and the goal set in
advance
Methods of Data Processing

1. Batch Processing – a technique in which data to be processed or


programs to be executed are collected into groups to permit
convenient, efficient, and serial processing.
2. On-line Processing – refers to equipment or devices under the
direct control of the central processing unit of a computer
3. Real-time Processing – the processing of data is done
immediately
4. Distributed Processing – the most complex level of computer
processing, generally consists of remote terminals linked to a large
central processing system to help the user conduct inquiries about
accounts, process jobs, or other data processing operations.
